Abstract

Over the past years there have been two concomitant developments: (1) performance based earthquake engineering (PBEE) which is a proposed new paradigm for the seismic safety investigation of a building and (2) potential failure mode analysis (PFMA) which is a generally accepted methodology to assess dam safety. Though similar, and written by different communities, much can be gained through an attempt to bring together those two paradigms. Figure 21.1 highlights the similarities between the two approaches in general. Each one will be discussed later in detail.
